MultiReach core business is to facilitate the flow of Technology and Investments between Israel and China. Hence, we together with the City of Haifa Municipality were delighted to host number of delegations from China visiting Haifa- a city of Innovation, a week before Jewish New Year (Rosh Ha-Shana).

There were number of reasons for those delegations to come: explore opportunities for collaboration in high-tech; join 100th anniversary of Technion (Alma-mater for three Nobel Prize Laureates); and attending summit of Israeli Advanced Technology Industries (IATI) in Jerusalem.

Among Haifa’s distinguished guest were:

City of Shenzhen delegation of 22 members headed by Shenzhen Mayor Mr. Xu Qin. Shenzhen is the true capital of Chinese high-tech industry, headquartering companies like HUAWEI, is also the richest in China with highest per capita income among it’s 17 million population! Following the reception by Mr. Kahlon – Israeli Minister of Communications, Mr. Xu Qin, Mayor of Shenzhen and Mr. Yona Yahav- Mayor of Haifa signed the Sister-City Agreement between Shenzhen and Haifa. Mrs. Gao – Chinese Ambassador in Israel among with senior Embassy staff also attended the ceremony. Later on, a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation was signed by Mr. Kulas, Chairman of Haifa Economic Corporation and the Mayor of Shenzhen.

Shanghai City, Shi Bei Science Park delegation headed by Chairman, Mr. Ding. On top of reasons mentioned above, the delegation came to learn from the experience of MATAM Science Park in Haifa and to explore the potential of close collaboration between those organizations.

Chengdu City Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries headed by Vice Chairman, Mr. Xu. Together with Haifa Municipality, the delegation was exploring opportunities for high-tech and cultural ties.

It was MultiReach great honor to assist Haifa Municipality in hosting high rank delegations of this scale. We are confident that our professional contribution will lead to to greater collaboration between two nations.

Michael Liagine of MultiReach draws an analogy between Chinese Swimmers’ performance on Olympic Games and Chinese Corporations in Global Arena:

August 2004 was the time when the Olympic Games took place in Greece. Back then, I was a young enthusiastic student in Beijing. I remember myself following qualification heats and finals on TV while practicing Chinese characters. On my free time, I was swimming in a big Communist era swimming pool close to Wang Fu Jin at the center of Beijing.

As a swimming enthusiast, it was easy for me to notice the most significant change in that discipline- the phenomenal success of Chinese swimmers in the Olympic pool of 2012. It is amazing especially due to the fact that swimming was NEVER a traditional Chinese discipline like gymnastics, badminton or ping-pong. China began to develop swimming as a discipline hardly 10 years ago… and look where it has gotten. Nowadays, China is outperforming known swimming nations like Australia, Holland & Russia with raising stars like Sun Yang and Ye Shiwen, a 16 years old female who swam last leg of 400m Individual Medley faster than American super-star Ryan Lochte.

Overall medal count shows even more impressive results with China winning more Gold medals then any other team in both traditional and new disciplines (from China’s point of view) like tennis, track & field and others. During the “Cold War”, Olympic Games and other sport’s events, were always an opportunity for “Super Powers” to show their might. Back then, US and USSR were competing each other on the overall medal count. Today, all eyes are on China.

Thus,China’s performance in Olympic Games is applicable to the Business World. You get to see same determination and devotion both in Individuals and corporations inChina. Traditional and new emerging industries are rapidly closing the gap with western corporations, while spending on R&D is constantly growing and so does global presence. Hence, Chinese corporations account for 70 of Forbes’ 500 companies. Many of them evolved as leading global players in different industries. One notable example is the Telecommunications industry, where Chinese corporations ZTE & Huawei evolved in the last decade are dominating over legendary Motorola, Nokia, and Erickson.
